Vintage Carved Camphor Wood Asian Oriental Box / Chest / Trunk/ Coffee Table
Camphor wood, known for its aromatic scent and durability, is a popular choice for crafting furniture and decorative items. Originating from Asia, this wood is prized for its natural resistance to insects and decay, making it ideal for preserving valuable items like clothing and linens.
These intricately carved boxes were traditionally used to store precious items, such as jewellery, documents, and clothing. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in these boxes reflect the cultural heritage and artistic traditions of the region.
Each intricate design and motif tells a story, often inspired by nature, mythology, or cultural symbols. The precision and detail in the carvings highlight the craftsmanship of the artisans who created this masterpiece.
This box features a spacious interior, perfect for storing a variety of items. The ornate carvings on the exterior make it a stunning decorative piece that can enhance any living space.
One of the delights of this box is that it has retained its original quirky locking system which I will not describe as it is easier to workout than describe! I have focussed on it in the images.
I would guess this is probably made in the 1980s.
The condition is close to excellent with hardly a scratch and just a few surface skirmishes.
It has an inner storage compartment which slides up and down to suit your own needs and of course can just be lifted out if you do not want it.
Please take a good look at all of the images and utilise the zoom in facility to check the condition.
